When I Arrive I See You Half Naked

when i arrive from my journey
i see you half naked
and you are sleeping

i do not wish to wake you up
i want to see you in that state
where you are what you are
without motion but just the form
where you cannot say anything
to all that i long for

i sit beside you and look at your
body
i am feasting i am motionless
i am speechless
to such a beauty of the one
i love

it is new all over again
the world stops right here
and i do not want it to move
to rotate to make its orbit
to complete its journey

all i want now is a suspension
of time and form and place

because you are with me
because i am with you.
